Iran is different than Iraq or Afghanistan, and here is why: The Iranians want to live a mostly secular life, but the government is extremely Islamic. There is the death penalty for apostasy (changing your religion), blasphemy (which could mean anything), adultery, and so on. Iraq's Saddam Hussein was secular. Afghanistan was/is Radically Islamic and rules Radically Islamic people. Iran's government is insane!!! The people do not like their Radical Islamic government. I think it will take time, but a revolution will succeed without interference from America at all.

Pakistan is scary (nuclear armed). The government is secular, but rules mostly Radical Islamic people. It's a ticking time-bomb!! If the Radicals take over the government, there will be nuclear war faster than a rabbit f---s!!!!! Say good-bye to India, and likely most of the world as we know it.

The reason so many Americans dislike Iran is because the media tells them too. Iran is baddddd country! They have to be told what to think, plain and simple.

If there was a news report on Fox tomorrow saying scientists had discovered that the moon is indeed made of cheese, i have no doubt that many would believe it.

I think that there is some serious confusion with many people. Most people believe what they read and what they are told. There is a stark difference between the Mullah that currently rule the roost and the good citizens of Iran.

Sadly, the people are being kept under the fearful thumb of the Mullah and the crazy clerics. The majority want the Mullah out of power. It is just going to take a civil uprising on a massive scale to topple the old regime that has held power since 1977.

Agree one hundred percent. America is a master at smoke and mirrors, lies and deceit. Our government has the population in their pocket. It tells us what to think, who to hate, etc. America's left hand is busy distracting you with a trick while its right hand steals your wallet. And shame on all of us for letting it happen unchecked and unchallenged.
